Hello ladies and gentlemen it's almost that time of year when marching band starts but those llamas are already here.
That's right it's almost here, we are about to have the party of all time this summer marching band season in the trombone section. I am not sure what trombone I will use because the Pbone sucks and my other trombone is too expensive to brave the weather with. Maybe I'll get a King 2b Silversonic 1940 edition, maybe I won't. All I know is that it's almost marching band season.

Before I move on I don't mean to lead you on by saying I might buy this trombone right here.

So, marching band is coming up it's the best way to spend summer time on your instrument. In marching band you spend two hours on your instrument every week day and with that kind of devotion to your instrument you get phenomenally better. Instead of playing video games every morning you will engage in physical activity to get in better shape and then play video games. Think about it guys, a potential six pack AND League of Legends, you can't get better than that folks you just can't. Did I mention the fact that you are going to be in the sun for a long amount of time. So, Unless you are polish like me you just might look Samoan by the end of the summer. Surprise! I'm part Cherokee so I will get a tan this summer!
To continue on ever so gracefully marching band is great! When you are a marching band member you get to play the song Thriller while wearing a fruity hat. The possibilities are boundless!
If I haven't sold you yet then you weren't in the market to buy my precious wares. Onto something else.
So, to buy a really nice trombone for marching band and jazz band, to get a trombone for a few hundred for marching band, or to just use my Pbone.
Now, If you don't know what a Pbone is, well, you are a privileged person. A Pbone is a plastic trombone. It's slide isn't like a regular slide, you can't use your slide-o-mix on it and achieve the same results as you do with a normal slide. The mouthpiece cannot produce a good sound and you have to use a small shank brass mouthpiece instead.Every thing about the instrument is cheap, You can get a better brass trombone for the same price. The only good thing about the instrument especially for marching band is that it's only 1.8 pounds with the Pbone mouthpiece and probably a couple pounds more with the brass mouthpiece.
To end off this post I'll leave you with some Star Wars multi-lingual Darth Vader stuff.
Thanks for reading, have a nice day or a nice night.
